i'm glad you've found it useful! makes me super happy to hear :)

that is already what i'm doing pretty much. i accept blog submissions and try to look for signs of quality, and then monitor for mentions of their sites.

as you suggested though, i didn't know the ML space enough to know that Machine Learning Mastery publishes daily and has an army of people who like and retweet ANYTHING they publish.

so it makes me wonder if i need to have some kind of dampening effect or how i can adapt the algorithm to handle that.

hey! OP here. are you talking about my site? I don't have a single affiliate link on my website.

not sure about the sites linked, but i reject sites that are low quality and filled with aggressive ads!

Haha thanks! (OP here) I'm using a combination of the Twitter API, RSS, and Puppeteer to put the data together. RSS is nice but not always complete, and some blogs don't have it :)

Glad you enjoy it, and yes, the goal is to make it easier to find blogs from individuals. I don't reject sites hosted on 3rd party platforms, but I do encourage people to post their own domain name when possible.

Cheers!

OP here, I know what you mean.

I found it similarly irritating while sourcing the data that all the top 10 google results recycled the same, outdated recommendations.

Do you mean you'd like a central place to discover individual's curated list of blogs they read? Like blogrolls?

That's a cool idea! Adding an "advanced search" is something I've been thinking about.

Gives people more control over their personal "algorithm" and what they value most when reading personal blogs.

Hadn't thought about frequency but that could definitely be something you could automate based on RSS. Thanks for the idea!

OP here, appreciate the feedback! Hope you find something cool while browsing.

OP here, thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah it's kinda meant to be like its own mini site. But if you click the logo at the top, it does take you to the root homepage :)

Adding a light mode is on the backlog, thanks for the suggestion! I need to remove a few hard-coded CSS values first ;)

OP here, I'm glad you liked it! I definitely discovered a lot of interesting people blogging while sourcing the data. Hope you find something cool inside :)

(OP) thanks for checking it out! it was definitely cool (but also surprisingly hard) to discover so many independent blogs by making this project. i'm glad you like it.

thanks for your feedback (OP here). yeah it's tough, i try to give anyone a chance to rank who has more than just a few posts.

what I didn't expect about that site is that it gets shared A LOT on twitter. still trying to refine the algorithm :)

thanks a ton for checking it out and sharing your feedback!

thanks for point this out! just accepted a bunch of pending submissions :)

OP here! Great point. Right now each blog just shows the #1 trending post, but it could definitely also pull recent articles by RSS feed. Thanks Channing!

Hey there! OP.

Yes, that's exactly my point -- that in fact reaching this point has been a six-month effort.

I didn't post on HN myself, and therefore did not choose the title either.

Anyways, thanks for pointing that out and I'm glad you got something out of the article!
